This tends to happen to me lately. I will be having a nice day when all of the sudden, anger jus sets in me. I will be mad for hours. It starts for no apparent reason. Then there will be times where I am at total ease. I am calm, happy. cheerful. a great person to be around. I dislike this alot because my kids get all freaked out by it. I don't act on that anger because I know it's something that may be hormonal or something. Please if anyone is experiencing this problem or whatever you want to call it let me know. What can I do to help me, not have these anger episodes?

It helped me to be able to put words to my anger. Any anger has some sense of, "I don't like this," in it. I don't mean not liking the anger. I mean the anger is saying I don't like something. It may be irrational. It may be perfectly reasonable. It may be childish. It's real, whatever it is.
Whatever it was, starting with just that simple sentence, "I don't like this," gave me a leg up on putting words to what "this" is rather than having the anger turn into obscenities, tension in my body or snapping at scapegoats. Of course a psychologist or psychiatrist can help you in that process, both as a guide and to evaluate if there's more wrong than just some anger that you haven't explored.
For me, I really liked having that one sentence to help interpret my anger for me. I was like you, and my anger seemed very alien, something someone must have done something very wrong to provoke me that way. It wasn't that. I just had been stuffing too much, with too many unrealistic expectations, and whatever metaphorical sack that holds my anger was full.

If you are a man, depression can be let out as a form of anger. Alot of men can't accept being sad and mopey and see it as a vulnerability, or a weakness. Your kids care for you and would want to see you happy. Set up a session with your counselour (if you have one) and talk about it. Or talk to someone you hold in great regard, and would like to take advice from.

You don't mention how old you are, you may be in perimenopause, have a thyroid imbalance, or have some emotional issues that have not surfaced yet.
Ask yourself what you are thinking or doing at the time. What is going through your mind at the moment you first feel angry? Write this down. Keep doing that. Before you go to bed, ask yourself why you are angry.
Get tested for a thyroid imbalance and if you are over 30, you may be in perimenopause.

You may be suffering from a type of bipolar disorder, so read the whole of page 2, and take the test at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris and see page 4: anger management.
